It sounds like a good event so I hope you enjoy it - I cannot go myself as for one thing its too expensive to go to London, and for another, I will probably be training in my town with my new guide dog that I get in a couple of weeks (I cannot wait!) - make sure to tell us after (via the message board?) what you think of it!
